System Automation for z/OS Tracing - Debug vs Rexx Trace
Hello, this is John Arnesen with NetView and System Automation level 2 support. We occasionally get a new PMR where the customer sends in a module trace. Typically the trace is Rexx tracing - (AOCTRACE rexx_exec ON/OFF,rexx_options). While this is good tracing to see, it turns out that Debug tracing (AOCTRACE rexx_exec ON/OFF) is more helpful and the preferred trace to run. It turns out that most of the SA Rexx execs have PIPE SAFE or PIPE KEEP coded, and the Debug Trace will often dump out the contents of a SAFE or KEEP as well as other trace... [More]

Customer finds value with OMEGAMON and zAware
Recently a zAware customer commented on the value they had received when zAware spotted an anomaly. It all started when they were notified by email from the OMEGAMON XE for z/OS support that feeds their eventing system. They were able to quickly see the event and the issue that zAware had captured. Leveraging OMEGAMON XE for z/OS situation capabilities allowed the customer to monitor for zAware anomalies without having to stare at a display. This is exactly the value IBM built into zAware and OMEGAMON XE for z/OS for our customers and it is... [More]

Optimizing CICS TG on z/OS performance using OMEGAMON XE for CICS
A few years ago I wrote a lengthy article about how the CICS TG monitoring agent delivered as part of the OMEGAMON XE for CICS product opens up the black-box of CICS Transaction Gateway (CICS TG) on z/OS giving system administrators the information required to tune their CICS TG resources in order to optimize throughput and minimize bottlenecks within this key middleware component. Well, as time moves on URLs change and the original article seems to have disappeared into the ether. The details within in it however, are still very much valid and... [More]
